Episode notes
Israel Defined By Promise Not Flesh
- Paul argues true Israel are those "born of the promise," not merely biological descendants.
- The promise shows election centers on faith in the promise (Christ) rather than physical lineage.
Love/Hate As Favoring, Not Eternal Fate
- "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated" is used to show selection for God's plan, not individual damnation.
- Love/hate language often means favored versus less favored in biblical usage.
Jacob And Esau As Narrative Examples
- Dan recounts Genesis episodes where Jacob deceives Isaac and later bows to Esau to show the surprising reversal.
- He uses these stories to illustrate why God might select the unlikely Jacob to fulfill the promise.
